AI Summary

This bill aims to modernize state heating systems in Massachusetts. It directs the Department of Energy Resources to develop and adopt a specialized stretch energy code as part of the state building code, which would include a definition of net-zero buildings. The bill also requires any public agency project, such as planning, construction, or maintenance of a structure, to comply with the specialized stretch energy code. Additionally, the bill directs the Department of Energy Resources to incorporate into the state building code requirements for preparing buildings for future installation of electric appliances, solar panels, and electric vehicle charging infrastructure, to avoid costly future retrofits.
